As the Nebraska State Auditor of Public Accounts, I am extremely proud of the work we have done over the nearly last four years. The relationships we have forged with the Nebraska Legislature have helped to update laws, and have new legislation passed that is helping our office work much more effectively for Nebraskans. Our office has come in under budget each year I have served as Auditor, and because of the work we have done, we have saved taxpayers millions of dollars. We also worked with numerous municipalities to help them better serve you. I would appreciate your vote!

Key issue

I'm running for office because I felt it needed to be done. The office of auditor is quiet, but incredibly important, and it is currently being held by a man that is interested only in division and extreme partisanship. I want to be someone who restores the position of auditor to where it belongs: as a tool, not a weapon. I want to restore trust in the political process in general, and in the office of auditor in particular.

Registration questions

Visit www.votercheck.necvr.ne.gov to check whether you’re registered to vote and find your polling place. If you think you should be able to vote at a polling place but there’s a problem with the registration, request to fill out a provisional ballot. The election commission will collect them and then has a week to verify whether you are eligible to vote.

To see a sample ballot
